Abstract
An electronic device capable of touch event processing is provided. The electronic device includes first and second surfaces oriented in different directions, the second surface being narrower than the first surface, a touchscreen display including a touch panel, and having a first section exposed through the first surface and a second section exposed through the second surface, a processor electrically connected with the touchscreen display, and a memory that stores instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to activate the touch panel, to detect a first touch event on one of the first section and the second section, to detect a second touch event on the other section after detection of the first touch event, to remove one of the first touch event and the second touch event, and to perform a function according at least partly to the remaining touch event.
